In The Pipe, Five-By-Five
Sunday, April 7, 2024 1:00 PM EDT

Sunday, March 24, 2024 8:16 AM EDT
Last week’s decision by the BOJ to raise its deposit rate above zero for the first time in 17 years cements the BOJ as a counter cyclical indicator, of sorts. Over the past 18 months the BOJ has stubbornly resisted calls to exit NIRP.

Here, I will do two things. First, I will look at the macro backdrop at the start of 2024, and secondly I will run through the portfolio, how it is doing, and what changes I have made, or intend to make, to beat my investments into shape for 2024.

Everyone is talking about the sell-off in bonds these days. Yields on the US 10-year benchmark is up nearly 150bp since April, within touching distance of 5%, and 30-year yields are now just over 5%, up from 3.7% in April.

The Inflation And Interest Rate Shocks Are Fading; What Next?
Sunday, September 24, 2023 10:57 AM EDT
Interest rates will stop rising, and questions will turn to whether central banks have over-tightened as inflation comes down and growth falters. We could even see rate cuts by key central banks at the start of next year.

Someone has to say it, and it might as well be me. Markets have a distinct 'Goldilocks' feel about them at the moment. This is a story about two trends; easing inflation and economies which are neither too hot nor too cold.

The Burn From The Churn
Sunday, June 11, 2023 1:00 PM EDT
The clue to the past year’s performance is in the title. Many of the classic value sectors—energy stocks in particular—roared higher last year, leaving the erstwhile high-flying growth stocks for dead. Last year’s winners are this year’s losers.

Sunday, May 14, 2023 3:20 PM EDT

A Change In Focus?
Sunday, April 2, 2023 1:19 PM EDT
The panic brought on by the failure of Silicon Valley Bank, Signature, and the shotgun wedding between UBS and Credit Suisse has not produced a crisis, at least not yet. The bad news is that it could be the straw that breaks the camel’s back.

Systemic?
Sunday, March 12, 2023 4:00 PM EDT
The big news in financial markets is the demise of Silicon Valley Bank. You’ll read many versions of this, but I’ll try to sketch what everyone agrees on. I will then highlight some of the areas where there should be scope to make, or lose, money.
